Best Pole Poems


Barefoot Boy, With a Fishing Pole.

A man I am and near my end.
I have other men to call me friend.

And women round me for the lust
And four leaf clover for the luck.

Beer or buttermilk to drink
And time I have to sit and think.

I have meadows which to mow
And I have crops which to sow.

I have men that call me sir.
I have work to be concerned.

I have obligations piled.
Work to do from mile to mile.

I'd trade it all, to be, you know
A barefoot boy, with a fishing pole.

To rest in the shade by a river bed
Soft grass to lay my youthful head.

Fish and skip stones on waters calm
And sleep out all night -when it's warm.

To unravel natures mystery there
Why the turtle wears a shell?

How the Oriole's nest is hung?
How the frog's croak is sung?

Why the Blue-Bell does not ring?
Why the hornet likes to sting?

My work keeps me shod like a mule
Only in dreams, youthful things I do.

When work here ends, to Heaven I go
To be a barefoot boy, with a fishing pole.

Premium Member Life Is Like a May Pole

We weave our colors

throughout a world brightly hued

which turns with us too

round its never ending sun.

It’s OUR time to dance lively!

Premium Member Pole Dancer

I just love the way she dances.
The way around the pole she twirls.
With such confidence she prances.
I just love the way she dances!
She is not afraid to take chances.
Around the May pole with other girls.
I just love the way she dances.
The way around the pole she twirls!

Premium Member Pole Dancing - For Dale

An acrobat whose name is Dale 
Went pole dancing with his wife Gail 
When he did the starfish 
He looked such a dish 
But suddenly Gail's face turned pale 

As he performed his sexy pole dance 
He'd got no undies under his pants 
Poor Dale was distraught 
When his todger got caught 
It cut short a night of romance

Premium Member Those Crazy Pole Beans

This is a mostly true story!

A few years ago in central Arkansas
I planted a garden among rich fertile soil
Followed seed packet directions as though written by law
Believing better results came from sweat and toil

Tomatoes and peppers and something called pole beans
Potatoes and onions, colors of corn, I've never seen
Always ended up with mud on the knees of my jeans
Slowly through the dark earth peeked petals of green

Weeks later everything looked just as though I thought it should
And I hoped everything would taste just as good
But those pole beans kept growing like you've never seen
And started making lovely huge beans of green

I had to build a fence to hold them up
Every day they grew another foot taller before sunup
The only way I could pick them was from the top of my ladder
I tell ya', no red head from Ireland has ever been madder!

*note...I am part Irish with red tints in my hair..no insults intended....

Premium Member North Pole Silent Nigh

There was a venturous gent
Who travelled the earth’s extent
But at the North Pole
It took quite a toll
Deciphering their accent

It started when he heard elves
Discussing amongst themselves
Saying: ‘le’s make oys
For he girls and boys
And pu all his suff on shelves’

Then said: ‘beer wear warm bandannas
Visiing Monreal and Monana
Because we’re old
Is exra cold
So bring exra blankes for Sana’

Now this gent was truly confused
With the kind of language elves used
Yet he feared missing
So kept on listening
And flipped from anguished to amused

The elves resumed: ‘Is ime o sing
Followed by hiry bells o ring’
Well that sent the gent
Closer to the scent
Of the kind of slang they did sling

He then met the elves finally
With a hey, hello, and howdy
Then said the words right
Singing Silent Night
As: ‘Silen nigh’; with a silent T



Translation if wanted:
Let's make toys
For the girls and boys
And put all this stuff on shelves

Beter wear warm pajamas
Visiting Montreal and Montana
Because we're told
It's extra cold
So bring extra blankets for Santa

It's time to sing
Followed by thirty bells to ring.


Premium Member Modi On the Moon

[Verse 1]
Vikram lands so softly
Modi on the moon
India cries out victory
Modi on the moon
Pragyan rover ready
Modi on the moon
ISRO team so steady
Modi on, Modi on the moon

[Verse 2]
Russia, U.S., China
Modi on the moon
Russia, U.S., China
Modi on the moon
First to land at South Pole
Modi on the moon
Finding water one goal
Modi on, Modi on the moon

[Chorus]
Modi say
It's not just India's day
But today
Belongs to all humanity
What a way
To demonstrate technology
A-Okay
"India is on the moon"

[Verse 3]
Chadrayaan-3 successful
Modi on the moon
Rocket science stressful
Modi on the moon
We must work together
Modi on the moon
We can live forever
Modi on, Modi on the moon

[Chorus]
Modi say
It's not just India's day
But today
Belongs to all humanity
What a way
To demonstrate technology
A-Okay
"India is on the moon"

[Outro]
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up

Premium Member The Red Train, to the north pole of course



To The North Pole Of Course  (Part Two)  
 
The farmlands, bridges and countrysides woosh by in a rush 
then vanish before my eyes at a hundred and twenty six miles per hour.
 My mind is traveling at the speed of Donner and Blitzen.  It goes through a magical hourglass only to nestle inside a cinnamon scented wagon that is infused with the clanking of fine china cups.  A peppery scent of hot chocolate perfumes the air and lands on my palate, sweetly.   
While I am being ushered forth into Christmas, I sift through time, backpedaling swifter than Santa's mistletoe kiss. 
I hear his rippling laughter and melt like butter.  

My extra sensory perception picks up the echoes through the halls of my memory
and I say to myself, " I think I'm going home, to the North Pole of course."

Pole Catching

Sitting there so beautifully-
the one who had stolen my heart from me.
I walked right by to catch his eye,
but caught a pole instead.

Melee At the North Pole

It all took place, one cold Christmas Eve,
What happened next? No one would believe!

Santa was set, and ready to go,
Along came Rudolph, and stepped on his toe!

Santa got mad, smacking Rudy's nose,
Would there be combat? God only knows!

Using his antlers, he poked Santa's butt,
Santa returned, with a fist to the gut!

They exchanged punches, blow for blow,
Tumbled out the door, and into the snow!

The elves rumbled in, fists were a' flyin',
Mrs. Claus stood in awe, weepin' and cryin'!

Toys were tossed, all around the shop,
Someone began to shout,..."Stop, stop, stop!!"

The scene was chaotic, as far as one could see,
When all of a sudden, down went the tree!!

Mrs. Claus lost her cool,..."That's the last straw!"
She took out her teeth, and joined the free-for-all!

Reindeer and elves, went flying here and there,
Candy canes and packages, were spread everywhere!

All of a sudden, it was quiet as a mouse,
At last, law and order returned to the house!

She stepped outside, with a hickory stick,
Dragged in Rudolph, and good ol' St. Nick!

She handed them both, a raggedy broom,
They cleaned up their mess, and went to their rooms!

She made a quick call, to her favorite elf,...
"This looks rather, I can do it myself!"

With a crack of the whip, and a tug on the sleigh,
Mrs. Claus was soarin' up, and well on her way!

The kids were good that year, they truly did their best,
But never did they expect to see, Santa in a dress!

My Pole Dancer

This Pole Dancer she was with me
All other men must pay her fee
Still I must confess
My family’s stress
But Polish dance lessons aren’t free

Christmas Panic At the Pole

Christmas Panic at the Pole

With  only 12 days before Christmas,
Santa‘s concerned with the weather report,
the sleigh has a major malfunction,
needs repair and the time’s running short.

All the elves have themselves in a panic,
their shifts running twenty-four seven,
their tired and stressed but are doing their best 
with remaining days numbering 11.

The reindeer are poised and polished,
Santa conducts their inspection with praise,
with the flight plan officially filed,
they’re  all set  to depart in 10 days.

Rudolph is fighting a head cold
But Santa knows he’ll be fine,
Santa rubs him with Vicks, with a hot toddy mix
cause he has to be ready in 9.

Bad news from North Pole repair shop,
some parts for the sleigh might be late
and there’s no time for home delivery tonight
as the countdown continues to 8.

Mrs. Claus and her singing elves,
entertain in the hall till eleven, 
she has to confess as she plays all requests,
she’ll be glad when its over in 7.

Santa’s caught double dipping the eggnog,
with 6 left he has gained one more pound
those cookies and chips have gone this hips
he’ll be lucky to get off the ground

Mrs. Clause coaxes Santa try on his suit
they look at each other with dread,
with 5 days to go, it’s three inches to tight,
she looks for a needle and thread.

Well, tragedy has been averted
the sleigh’s fixed and Rudolph’s alright
with only 4 days before Christmas is here
looks like everyone’s up for the flight!

The Elves throw a disco party
Santa’s soaking his feet instead
with 3 days to go what  he wants most of all
is a good night’s sleep in his bed.

The North Pole workshop got buried 
in a blizzard with 2 days to go,
Santa summoned the elves at 3am
to shovel 12 inches of snow. 

The presents are loaded, the reindeers prance 
Christmas eve is finally here
Ho Ho Ho Santa cries as he flies cross the sky
“MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR”

Premium Member A Pole Jumped Out In Front of Me

Have you ever seen someone walk into a pole
Happened to me once while out for a stroll
Had a poem in mind
To all else I was blind
Should've paid attention, dirtied my camisole

North Pole Divorce Club

Snow everywhere
once joined, now melting apart
causing much distress.

Santa got divorced and also got fixed
too many little Santa's running around because of his tricks
  Santa liked the women.
  Too many little guys were swimmin'  ;)
Now we all know how Santa got his kicks!

Santa slept around and ate too much grubb
His wife finding out made him join the North Pole Divorce Club!
